Pentagon answers question of whether UFOs and aliens have visited Earth

For the believers and nonbelievers, the Pentagon answered whether UFOs or aliens have ever visited Earth, saying there is no evidence.

Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder fielded several questions from reporters on Thursday on topics such as the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the use of B-2 bombers to conduct precision strikes on five military sites controlled by Houthi forces in Yemen, and North Korean soldiers fighting on behalf of Russia in Ukraine. On top of those subjects, the daily news cycle is filled with nonstop election coverage.

Jeff Schogol of Task & Purpose, which provides military news, culture and analysis by members of that community, took the opportunity to go off-topic with Ryder, and asked about one of Earth’s biggest mysteries.

"Given the news cycle, you could announce anything about aliens or extraterrestrial life, and no one would care," Schogol said. "So…I’m just going to take the shot. What do you got on UFOs, aliens, etc.?"
